Ingredients
Scale
For the Soup
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin (flank steak or ribeye can also be used)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (vegetable oil works as a substitute)
- 1 medium Onion (yellow or white onion can be used)
- 1 medium Green Bell Pepper (red or yellow bell peppers are optional)
- 3 cloves Garlic (fresh cloves preferred)
- 4 cups Beef Broth (ensure gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (half-and-half can be used as a lighter option)
- 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese (mozzarella or mild cheddar as alternatives)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until it is shimmering and hot enough to sauté.
- Sauté Beef: Add the beef sirloin to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
- Cook Vegetables: In the same pot, add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté these vegetables until they become tender and aromatic, roughly 4 to 5 minutes.
- Simmer Soup: Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook gently for 15 minutes to meld the flavors and tenderize the beef.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted into the soup, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the soup hot in bowls, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
Notes
- Optional: Top the soup with fresh parsley or chives for a touch of color and added freshness.
- Avoid freezing the soup as the cream can separate upon thawing, affecting texture.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- Beef sirloin is preferred for tenderness, but ribeye can be used for richer flavor.
